Thanks jofes for the thoughts! I'm not too good with theory but I do believe that I do the thing at 1:43 a few times throughout the song. Also, for the quiet guitar at the end, are you referring to the strummed guitar or the balalaika riff? The balalaika riff is something I'll probably work on a bit further. Also, I left a lot of space open in the song because there are going to be vocals added. I just haven't written the lyrics with the person I usually co-write with yet :) I might add in a few little flourishes, we'll see, I'm not particularly skilled at guitar so I kept it fairly simple.
Thanks!
